    Hi Ladies,
    Just wondering if anyone went public in UCHG and was it a good experience? Any advice? Also I want to breast feed but none of my family or friends have so i'm a bit clueless :( do they give you much help when baby arrives or just leave you to it?

    Yes, that's where I went. It is very busy, but overall it was a positive experience.

    There is 24 hour breastfeeding help (even if you seem to get different advice from everyone!). They have a dedicated breastfeeding consultant also and run classes on technique.

    I'd advise the prenatal classes as well, they bring you in and show you around the delivery suites.

    Hi I went public there and mostly had good experiences. It gets a bit draining seeing different registrars at every visit as they don't really read your charts so you end up explaining your whole pregnancy at each visit. Also some of them are a lot more attentive than others.
    Midwives are fantastic and the whole place would run far better if it was just them there.

    Folks, at what stage should you look at booking the prenatal class so that we can see the delivery suites? We're 24 weeks and due in for our next checkup in 4 weeks.
